Presently, the world is a mess, following different plagues that threaten its existence and that of every living thing on it. Understandably, we humans are one of the biggest threats to the world, as we've inflicted it with our wrath and destroyed it with our bitterness through war, plagued it with disease through our research, and put our fellow humans in abject poverty on our quests to attain wealth and power. All of these leave humans and the world at large at the mercy of what or who can savage it from these shambles we've put the world in, and then the big question is: if one man's life being sacrificed can restore the world back to normal in all aspects, will I or will I not willingly sacrifice my life for the wellbeing of the world and all that lives therein?
You see, like I said above, we humans are the perpetrators of most of the down slides in the world we're in today, from hunger to war and diseases. These are all brooded from our quest for power, fame, wealth, research, preservatives, and several other things, and all of these leave behind a blueprint of pain, death, and imminent extinction. Nothing is going to save the moment. Is there even anything that can change all of these, since almost everything gets at least a trait or two from those who beget them?
Even the Bible says, and I quote, The heart of a man is evil; who can know it? That's to show how bad things are and how dangerous we humans can be, and a question like for one person to sacrifice themselves for the world to be restored back to normal seems almost like a waste of sacrifice, because in the Bible, this was done during the days of Noah, when he was asked to build an ark by God. According to that story, the world then was filled with many evils and plagues, and it was God's intention to wipe out all the bad people and have a new beginning with good people in the Noah family. Now, if we are all Noah's families and evil was wiped out through the flood, weren't we supposed to be good and live a good example?
My point is that it's pretty difficult for such to happen, and one person sacrificing themselves might not change anything, because those left behind will at one point or another trade knowledge, power, and wealth, and if it happens again, it'll be as though the person who sacrificed their lives did it in vain, but then it's what it's, let's just say it's possible, and if truely one person did sacrifice their life, then hunger, war, and diseases will be wiped out forever. Will I sacrifice my life?
This might seem awkward or odd to say, but after thinking it through, I personally think I'll indeed willingly sacrifice my life for the good of the world and everyone who lives in it. I don't want my children or loved ones to have to undergo any form of pain or plague, as we've seen the world present to us at every given time, and as we can see, it's as though things are getting worse by the day, which means the days of our ten generations to come would be far worse. To prevent such from happening, I humbly lay down my life for the good of the world and everyone that lives therein.
But on one condition, that in truth, pain, hunger, war, and diseases won't be a thing any longer from generations to generations, that'll make my sacrifices worth it and not be a waste, because the measures of the Noah flood seem like one, and I won't want to sacrifice my life for a short-lived peace but an everlasting one for the good of humanity and the world at large.
